Celebrities With No Eyebrows

This blog post is a follow up from celebrities with no teeth..

These pictures follow a similar concept to celebrities with no teeth but instead of their teeth been photoshopped out, their eyebrows are missing. These pictures were circling the Internet a few weeks ago and Facebook and twitter pages were set up in their honour. Recently there hasn't been any new ones floating about which just highlights that the majority of things on the Internet have a short shelf life.

Here are a few of the best pictures of celebrities with no eyebrows.

Song Pop

There once was a time where friends could challenge each other's musical knowledge, enjoying round after round of melodic goodness. Whether it's 80's Classics, Power Ballads, Rock Anthems or Pop (to name a few), hours of fun were to be had whilst playing the iPhone/iPad  app.

Unfortunately however, this game also proved purely to be nothing more than an internet FAD which has now been cast into the darkness along with the many other App FADS.

Let's all  reminisce on the greatness that is Song Pop....

You've Goat To Take A Look - Goat Memes

As you can see the goat meme makers use anything as their muse, whether it's a celebrity, such as Florence Welch above or as mentioned in a previous blog, Sweet Brown who is a youtube sensation or just a cute little goat. Lets hope they keep these memes coming to keep us all entertained!

OK GO!: Music Video Fad!

In the big bad world of the music industry, it is sometimes hard for a band to be noticed, firstly, by a record label,but also by the general public. Sometimes they might go for a gimmick like they all being from the same family a la The Corrs or be The White Stripes and have the weird dilemma of them either being brother and sister or married, MAD I KNOW!

However, one band took the route of having interesting and out of this world kind of videos. Their debut song A Million Ways was the first in a long line of videos. The video concept was the band in the one of the members back garden doing a dance routine and it only took one take.

 

Their second video was probably their most famous and involved the use of treadmills where again a dance routine was created but this time the added danger of the treadmills was added to make the video a lot cooler and much more popular   

 

The bands popularity was so high with all their millions of views on You Tube that they even collaborated on a music video with The Muppets!

Their popularity seems to have died down as the Internet moves away from OK GO but we will always have the memories of the dancing and the treadmills!

One million likes! Facebook is becoming a Santa!

Well, they got their puppy before Christmas, thanks to the almighty Facebook. But the story continues.. After the visibility and popularity of this pull, people all around the world started to share their wishes in  Facebook with parodies of the children s handmade signs, and oh boy did people start to share these wishes..Payoffs, sex, trips to Maldives, cars.. everything was asked for.

Here's a couple of desperate wishes:

Celebrities With No Teeth

Anyone who is a frequent social media has bound to come across the recent Internet FAD of celebrities with no teeth.
